Hank

Born and raised in the hills of Eastern Connecticut (yep), and weaned on the early "Hanks" (Williams, Snow, etc.) , this songwrter was exposed to 'Country/Western' music from the day he was born. His dad, Flip, was of master of the guitar and tried his best to pass it on to Hank.

Of course, then came the Beatles and everything changed. Rock and Roll bands ensued for a while and his life as a bass player seemed on course. But it was when Hank discovered Southern Rock in the early 70's, that his main influences came into play. Charlie Daniels, The Allman Brothers, The Outlaws, Marshall Tucker, etc. all changed his view of music and the way it should be done.

Hank's compositions include straight Country, Country/Rock, Southern/Rock, Blues and even a little Bluegrass. There are nearly 60 songs in his pocket, currently around 50 in the can. If you are looking to hear quality lyrics, great stories and good humor, all sung by a songwriter (and you know what that can mean), then you've come to the right place.

Stop back from time to time, as more music will be added on a regular basis.
